Save Your Money: Skip the Hue Lights
Take it from someone that’s bought a BUNCH of Hue Lights that now sit in a box: if you want to build an integrated smart home, skip the Hue Lights. (Or any smart “bulbs” for that matter.)
Unless you are in a rental property where you are unable to make more “permanent” changes, smart bulbs, like the Hue Lights, ultimately introduce so very painful trade-offs:
- Your “real” light switches become “off limits”
- Your lights do not easily tie-in to your future smart house
- It’s a very EXPENSIVE way to make your lighting smart
